Letting out a yell, sophomore Madison White makes a catch during an indoor practice last week. The Washington County High School gym was filled with the sounds of yelling and softballs striking players’ leather mitts as the girls prepared for their upcoming season.

With the snow and rain out of the region, the Washington County Commanderettes are gearing up for a season of thrills and chills. The young team, which features a number of underclassmen, had its first game of the season rained out, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from practicing in the new high school’s gym last week.

Commanderettes head coach Christy Baker said they hope to improve on their season record this year. In 2014, they finished 10-16.
